Texas college students create stirring campaign for breastfeeding

Eating a meal in the bathroom doesn't sound very appetizing, and it's the driving idea behind a stirring ad campaign by some University of North Texas students.

Kris Haro and Johnathan Wenske created "When Nurture Calls" to support a mother's right to breastfeed in public without the fear of being harassed.

The duo created a series of simple posters depicting women breastfeeding in bathroom stalls. The posters are merely a part of a student project, but according to their website, if the campaign were a reality, they would be placed on the back of bathroom stalls with the intention of raising the question, "Is this right?"

The campaign also supports Houston's Rep. Jessica Farrar's proposed HB 1706, which would ensure women legal protection from harassment when breastfeeding in public places. It was dismissed by the Texas State Legislature but will be reintroduced in 2015.
